About Birds and Bird-Houses 


plese first thing to be understood by any one who is 
interested in having birds about his home is that 
no special study of birds, or extensive information 
about their habits, is necessary when Jacobs-designed 
bird-houses are to be erected. We find from many 
letters coming to us that there is a general idea that the 
art of attracting birds to become permanent residents 
is rather a special one; and that only those knowing a 
great deal about bird-habits can count upon succeed- 
ing. 

This is not true as to the buyer of a Jacobs bird- 
house. It is true that we who make these houses must 
know bird-habits, in order to design houses, nest boxes 
and shelters that will attract the birds successfully. 


Our designs have been developed through more 
than 30 years’ study of birds and their habits. The 
founder of our company was the pioneer in offering to 
those who loved birds, but had not the time to study 
them scientifically, bird-houses that were planned after 
years of experiment and study, and that have been con- 
sistently successful in attracting and keeping birds. 


We do not pretend to make a great mystery of bird- 
house building. Many homemade bird-houses are suc- 
cessful, but on the other hand many are not.

Gentlemen: 

We placed one of your Model 9 martin houses in our 
garden this spring, about the last of April, and had about 
given up the martins this year when on June 3, we heard 
them, and on investigating we saw one pair looking over 
the house. The next day there were three pairs. They 
have been here every day since and I hope they will stay 
with us. We put up a martin house two years ago made 
by a Jocal man, but it could not have been to their liking 
for none came. No one had seen martins in this locality for 
15 years, and some folks discouraged us saying it was no 
use, but thanks to the Jacobs house we have them. 
Reynoldsville, Pa. MRS. IRA S. SMITH. 


Jacobs bird-houses score a 
very high percentage of suc- 
cesses. In fact they will al- 
ways be successful if there are 
any birds available for them. 
That our designs make good is 
clearly shown from the fact 
that 75 per cent of OUnwemm 
tomers buy again, or recom- 
mend our houses to their 
friends, who buy from us. 


Gentlemen: 


I started with one of your 
houses. Last year I bought the 
fourth—all filled. My son, Mr. 
Clarence B. Sturges, sent for one 
last year, and this year he has the 
martins (they are all martin 
houses). Last year at my request 
you sent a catalogue to Miss 
Anna B. Jennings, of Fairfield, 
Conn. The other day she asked 
me to please order one for her. 
I have picked out a No. 8 She 
would like a hinged pole and full 
directions.

We can understand how bird-houses, intended to 
attract various species of birds, differing in design from 
our own, often fail in their purpose. In studying and 
changing and altering and adapting our houses through 
the early years of our experimental work, we learned 
of some very singular peculiarities in different species 
of birds. ‘To most people a bird-house is a bird-house, 
but we know that the number of rooms, size of rooms, 
size of openings, position of openings and many, many 
more little details of that kind are of great importance. 


Zanesville, Ohio. 
Gentlemen: 

I enclose my check for which 
please ship to me one’ Jacobs 
martin house, Model 5. I have 
had one of - martin 
houses up for five years but no 
martins 


Last spring one of our neigh- 
bors put up a Jacobs bird-house 
and when I saw the martins visit- 
ing both our houses, then all 
leaving mine to build nests in the 
beautiful house my neighbor 
bought of you, I was disgusted. 
His Jacobs house had been up 
only one day while mine had been 
up several years. 

Now I am going to have a real 
Jacobs bird-house. 

WARS, Se 1k, Ge 


Gentlemen: 

I regret that I did not know of 
your methods of attracting our 
feathered friends long ago, for I 
have spent many hours of real 
toil in making “houses” for them 
during the past few years. 

Please send me by express: 1

box.

Because Jacobs houses have been developed over a 
long period of years (since 1883), we were able to estab- 
lish our designs some time ago, and consequently all 
over the United States we have pleased customers who 
have bought one, two, or many more of our houses and, 
who write us of their success. 


Lincolnville, Me. 


Kindly send me another of your Model 5 martin 
oneee with angle iron braces, etc. 


I am sending you a photo of the two Jacobs martin 
houses I have already erected on my place, and meeting 


with great success. 
LOUIS PENNINGTON. 


Zanesville, Ohio. 


ee i purchased from you, last year, a Model 11 
Jacobs martin house and watched the few martins that 
hovered around it anxiously wondering if they really would 
locate there. 


By the end of the season every room was taken, and 
now I am thinking of enlarging their quarters and wish to 
order your Model 5, twenty-eight room, Rockefeller favorite. 

We have a number of cardinals, bluebirds, and others I 
do not know, and wiil also want nest-boxes for them as well 
as a Food Shelter in order to feed those that stay here in 
winter. 

MRS. R. C. BURTON. 


WAYNESBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 5 


We need say very little as to the pleasure and 
benefit of having birds about one’s home. Grown-up 
members of the family will find great enjoyment in 
daily observation of their birds that return year after 
year, and really “belong”. 


Gentlemen: 


Our Jacobs martin 
house gave us much 
real pleasure. Only 
24 hours elapsed, 
when lo, they began 
coming. They seem- 
ingly looked, and said, 
“How lovely!” All 
summer we watched 
with deep interest the 
young in their flight- 
attempts, the anxiety 
of their elders, etc. 
We want a wren house 
in the spring. Our 
neighbors reveled in 
their appreciation of 
our martin house. 


MRS. A. W. STEINER. 
Monticello, Iowa. 


Bernardsville, N. J. 


» « »- We are de- 
lighted with the bird- 
houses you’ sent us 
last spring. One 
Bluebird box was oc- 
cupied by a pair of 
Bluebirds a few days 
after it was put up, although no Bluebirds had ever nested on 
the place before. Also three pairs of Wrens occupied houses, 
though to the best of our knowledge, no Wrens had nested on 
the place before. 


MRS. JOHN A. ROEBLING. 


The children find an indescribable delight in watch- 
ing their birds, and telling what they see the birds do. 
The musical gurgling of a house full of martins is some- 


6 Jacoss Birp-HousE AND MANUFACTURING Co. 


thing worth hearing about one’s home. It is true, too, 
that they protect the trees, flowers and vegetable garden 
from destructive insects. Just a few minutes obserya- 
tion of the activity of a woodpecker, nut-hatch and 
others over and under tree branches, or of birds clean- 
ing the slugs from rose bushes and shrubbery, or mar- 
tins snapping the insects as they fly, is proof enough of 
this, when we realize that they are at it all day long. 


Prairie City, Iowa. 
PR 25 We received our bird-houses and put them up 
May 3. We were very much surprised to have a flock of 
miartins settle with us the following day, May 4. We think 
this proves, witheut doubt, the value of your bird-houses. 
This year we had no annoyance from bugs and worms and 
we thank our Purple Martins for it all. Their presence has 
induced other birds to inhabit the place. We have never 
had so many different kinds of birds as now, but we think 
the martins best of all. 
MRS. C. S. JENKS. 


It is te be understood, of course, that of the 1,200 
or more varieties of birds of North America, not more 
than 100 are hole-nesting birds, and only about 30 
species are likely to use nesting boxes or colony houses. 
But nature seems to provide ample numbers in the 
varieties that are willing to live near our homes, so that 
if we provide houses, the birds turn up to occupy them. 

The martins, and to some extent tree swallows, will 
occupy colony houses with a number of rooms. The 
bluebird, wren, chickadee, nuthatch, tufted titmouse, 
crested fly-catcher, flicker, woodpecker, tree swallow 
and others are attracted by single room nesting boxes. 
If you have not particularly noted the different birds 
in your neighborhood, you may think off-hand that few, 
if any, of the species mentioned, come about your home. 
But on putting up a martin house, or several nest boxes, 
you would no doubt have the experience that hundreds 
of our customers have had, the pleasant surprise of 
finding them all soon occupied. You will find, too, that 


WAYNESBURG, PENNSYLVANIA il 
observation of the habits of the particular individuals 
that have occupied your houses is much more interest- 
ing than the study of bird-life in general, and very in- 
formative. 

We wish to refer briefly to what, in building a 
home for human occupancy, you would consider to be a 
very practical question, and one of artistic judgment, 
too. That is, the architectural style which we have 
adopted for our bird-houses as giving most satisfactory 
service, and to fit the conditions and surroundings 
where bird-houses are mostly erected. We recognize the 
uniqueness and odd- 
ity of the many at- 
tractive bird - houses 
built by bird lovers 
themselves, along in- 
dividual lines’ and 
with materials pur- 
posely selected to ex- 
press rough nature 
herself, in a way-- 
bark covered slabs, 
Poe he-tinished 
boards, shingles and 
sometimes paint kegs. 
We would not sug- 
gest that because we 
do not build our own 
houses of these mate- 
rials, we therefore 
should not use them 
to make bird-houses, 
for that is not logical; 
nevertheless it is true 
that bird-houses that 
are to be erected on 
grounds near homes 


8 Jacoss Brrp-HoUuse AND MANUFACTURING Co. 


that are built of practical, serviceable materials, will 
look well if similarly built, and like the home, with its 
porches and garage, can be painted for protection 
against the weather, and to harmonize with the other * 
buildings. 


To the birds it seems to make little difference. We 
have never made the “rustic” type, and have no records 
as to their success or non-success in attracting birds. 
The designs we have developed through our forty 
years of making and selling bird-houses are absolutely 
successful in their main purpose of pleasing the birds, 
as we know from records of thousands of houses we 
have sold. Our houses are conscientiously made from 
the best materials, completely roofed with high grade 
tin and painted with three coats of lead and oil paint. 
You will find the designs shown on the pages following 
to be graceful, well proportioned, and adding greatly 
to the beauty of their surroundings when erected. 

We make our houses in quantities, with individual 
attention and inspection. They are well crated for 
shipment and warranted to arrive in good condition.

at night. Next morning, early, there were six martins in it. 
To-day there are twelve of them. 

I regard the Jacobs bird-house as a fine piece of work 
and the birds do, too!

BIRD-HOUSES 
FOR PARKS AND CEMETERIES 


We have amongst our customers many parks, 
cemeteries, country clubs and large estates whose man- 
agers appreciate the attractiveness of bird-houses in the 
landscape plan and the practical usefulness of the birds 
in destroying insects that are harmful to trees, shrub- 
bery and plants. We invite correspondence and will 
gladly answer special inquiries along this line. 


Oak Lawn Cemetery, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 

The martin houses and other bird attractions 
we ordered from your firm, have arrived and I desire to say 
that they are entirely satisfactory in every way, and the 
best make we have on our grounds. 

They are of good size, well proportion- 
ed and built for service. When we are in 
the market for additional houses, you 
will get our order.

The Purple Martin 


And Houses for Its Summer Home 


HE Martins belong to the family 

of swallows (Hirundinidae) 
They are the largest Swallows and in 
point of species or varieties are not 
numerous, all being found in the 
Genus Progne. 

The range of the Martins extends 
throughout the whole of Temperate 
and Tropical America, including the 
West Indies. 


Originally the Martins nested in 
and possibly also in 


hollow trees 
nooks and chinks about cliffs—but 
in more modern times some of the 
species have evolved from their primi- 
tive method to artificial nest-boxes

bers 500 birds at the close of , i i 

Guchi nesting season. The eggs of all ee species of this 
genus are pure white. 

In the United States and Southern Canada, the type—Purple 
Martin (Progne subis subis)—is generally distributed in the East, 
and the geographical variation, Western Martin (Progne  subis 
hesperia) West of the Rockies. The latter variety, however, has not 
progressed far from the original instinct of nesting in hollow trees. 
A few have been recorded as nesting about buildings, old missions 
and chapels. 


We now narrow down to the typical variety—PURPLE MARTIN 
—inhabiting Eastern United States and Canada. 


Almost any place within this region the purple martin can be at- 
tracted to become a permanent resident year after year by erecting 
houses of correct design. New generations have to find homes for 
themselves and there are numberitess instances of martins appearing 
where they have never been noticed before, to occupy a new house 


put up to attract them.

SUMMER RANGE 


Breeding Season—Where Colonies Can Be Established 


Temperate North America, the Pacific Coast, breed- 
ing abundantly throughout all the States North to Maine, West 
through Southern Ontario to Montana. North of this line which 
is about 45° N. Lat. in the East and 48° N. Lat. in the West, it 
rapidly grows breeding records 
more or less regular have been reported 
from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, North- 
west Ontario, Manitoba and _ Saskatche-

and fewer from Idaho appear, but the spe-

cies is quite rare West of Eastern Colo- 
rado, except in very restricted localities 
not affected by the mountainous region. 


Southward its breeding range extends into 
the table lands of Mexico. One brood is 
reared. The number of eggs laid range from 
three to seven (rarely the latter number), 
varying in different years. Generally the 
adults nest from two to five weeks earlier 
than the immature birds, consequently 
latter correspondingly later in 
bringing out their young. This gives rise 
to the supposition, sometimes stated, that 
two broods are reared during the summer 
months.

anywhere within the limits of its winter 
range, except possibly in Southern Mexico, 
where its summer range overlaps its winter 
range. The colonies of Martins breeding in 


the United States and Canada may go far into South America to 
winter, but they will return to their Northern haunts each summer. 


WAYNESEURG, PENNSYLVANIA 15 


MIGRATION 
In all the region within the boundaries described, these birds 
wander from their chosen breeding grounds to and from their winter 
retreats under the tropical sun. During this semi-annual migration, 
individuals may be attracted to suitable boxes put up for their use 
in sections of the country where they are not now encouraged. 


FOOD 


Living entirely upon winged insects, almost all of which are very 
obnoxious to the agriculturist, a colony of martins can assist him far 
more than human hands in curbing the inroads of these pests. The 
presence of martins induces numbers of birds of other species to in- 
habit the premises, filling the place with bird melodies while indus- 
triously cleaning the air, trees and vegetation of insect pests. 


16 Jacoss Brrp-Housrt AND MANUFACTURING Co. 


NESTING HOUSES 


Martin houses should be put up ready for use during the last 
week of March if in a new locality, but in communities where the 
birds are already established a month later will do. The immature 
birds, which are driven from the crowded home box, seek new quar- 
ters late in May and we have reports where birds have taken up 
nesting quarters in new houses late in June. At no time during the 
summer months is it too late to erect a martin house, for many non- 
breeding birds, wandering over new territory, will settle upon a new 
house they chance to find, and live in it temporarily until the migra- 
tion season begins. Our past experience proves that these birds re- 
turn to such new houses the next year to breed. 


All materials entering into the construction of these houses are 
of standard stock—well seasoned white pine, oak, and yellow poplar 
—the bottoms being made of double thick oak boards. The entire 
roof is covered with a nurnber one quality of sheet tin, over standard 
stock of non-heating sheeting and completely soldered. All our 
house are finished in three coats of hand- 
mixed paint of high quality. 


While we recommend erecting our mar- 
tin houses on poles, they are often placed 
on buildings or in trees. Poles can be ar- 
ranged for locally by customers, but we 
are prepared ‘to supply suitable poles 
when desired, in weight and size best 
adapted for the house it is to support. 
Detailed pole descriptions are given on 
‘page 27. ‘ 


“Roles are prepared of two kinds, the 
stems “being of 3%, 4 and 4% inch steel 
tubes or iron pipe, and the bases of the 
hinged style, securely made ‘of oak and 
finished ready to erect the house sixteen 
feet above the ground. Each house is 
provided with four angle irons for fasten- 
ing the same to the pole, or when a pole 
is ordered with a bird-house, these angle 
irons are riveted to a block of wood 
which fits securely into the. steel tube.

JACOBS EASY-RAISING 
BIRD-HOUSE POLES 


UR Hinged Poles for Martin houses are the most convenient 

conceivable. The pole may be planted firmly in the ground 
before attaching the house, then lowered and the house put on and 
again raised into place. It may be easily lowered in the fall for 
removing the bird-house to a sheltering place during the winter, 
and for preventing Sparrows harboring in it until springtime, when 
it may again be placed into position for the returning Martins be- 
fore the sparrow pests have time to establish themselves. 


All our hinged poles are 21 feet long, the main stems being 
4-inch steel tubes or iron pipes, the lower end of which is secured 
in an 8-inch square hard wood encasement, which in turn is hinged 
to an 8-inch square solid hardwood section for planting in the 
ground.. This is the most durable and strongest easy raising pole 
ever offered. They are made at our own factory and offered at 
these low prices for the accommodation of those of our customers 
who wish the whole outfit ready to erect. 


Weight of hinged poles, as described above, for Models 1, 2, 5, 
6, 9, 10 and 11 is 250 pounds. Price complete with hinged locking 
device, $12.00. 


Weight of hinged pole for Model 3, 
having extra heavy hand-made hinges, 
275 pounds. Price complete with 
hinged locking devices, $20.00. 


Weight of a hinged pole _ for 
Models 4 and 12 is 500 pounds. This 
hinged pole is made of extra heavy 
materials, hinged to a 10-inch square 
solid hardwood section for planting in 
the ground, and provided with extra 
heavy hand-made hinges. Price com- 
plete with hinged locking device, 
$30.00. 


STATIONARY PoL_Es—These poles are 
made of 4-inch steel tubes or iron 
pipe, are 21 feet long and weigh 130 
pounds. Price for Models 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 
10 and 11 is $8.00.

Davenport, Iowa. 

Can frankly state that my Jacobs bird-houses were the means of 
furnishing a great deal of pleasure to all of us, as well as to all the 
children in the neighborhood. They certainly have a large number 
of admirers. 

As advised you in previous correspondence, I erected the first 
house one evening, and the following morning, in going into the 
yard, I found a pair of Martins in the house. The following morn- 
ing, I had two pair, and so on until I had a total of eighteen pair, 
which all hatched their broods and have now left for Southern 
regions. 

In conclusion will state that any one who is fond of birds, will 
by purchasing a Jacobs bird-house, never have occasion to regret the 
investment. J. H. BENDIXEN.

SINGLE ROOM NEST-BOXES 


HE single room nest-boxes are the best for attracting such 
birds as Bluebird, Wren, Chickadee, Tree Swallow, Nuthatch, 
Flicker, Tufted-tit, Crested Flycatcher, Red-Headed Woodpecker, etc. 


Unlike the Martins, the species of hole-nesting birds, men- 
tioned above, are unsociable at the breeding season. That is, 
they will not colonize in one box. A pair of Bluebirds will take 
quarters in a house and whip off all comers, even of their own 
kind. Except the tree swallows, it is the same with the Wren 
and all other species for which the single room or individual nest- 
ing-boxes are made. If you put these up at random in suitable 
places on your premises, every box may eventually be taken, which 
is never the case with a Bluebird or Wren house, having more than 
one room. 


Do not be deceived into the belief that you can colonize such birds 
as Bluebird, Chickadee, Wren, Nuthatch, Tufted-tit, Crested Fly- 
catcher or Flicker in houses of many compartments, for they will not 
colonize. They will associate and feed together on your grounds, but 
invariably select different nesting sites. 


J. Warren Jacobs long ago demonstrated the superiority of the 
single room, or individual nest-box for all species of hole-nesting 
birds, except the Purple Martin and the Tree Swallow. 


The four types of single-room nest-boxes we show in this De- 
partment, are adapted to the habits of Crested Flycatcher, Tufted 
Titmouse, and White-Breasted Nuthatch, as well as the Tree Swallow, 
Wren, Chickadee. Bluebird and Flicker. The box designed for the 
Bluebird, we find is often selected by the Red-Headed and the Hairy 
Woodpeckers for a nesting site, and for that reason we recommend 
this type for these birds. 


These nest-boxes are made of clear yellow poplar and white pine 
(the best non-heating woods in existence), and well painted (no 
cheap staining process), oil paint, three coats, rendering a substan- 
tial and durable home for the birds. 


Over thirty-nine years of scientific experiment has demonstrated 
that these nest-boxes must be made of surfaced lumber and well 
painted to supply clean and durable nesting quarters for the birds. 
We have nest-boxes of our types here described, erected on our 


30 JAcoBS Birp-HouseE AND MANUFACTURING Co. 


premises more than twenty years ago, which are still clean and 
fresh, and occupied by Bluebirds and Wrens each season. At the 
same time the experiments with the so-called rustic type of boxes 
demonstrated its inferior quality, holding moisture, dampness and 
mould, and soon perishing from destructive worms in the decaying 
wood. 


This reproduction of a Jacobs bluebird nest-box was put up 
hurriedly to receive a pair of bluebirds which had taken possession 
of a Jacobs Model 2 martin house we had just 
erected for Mr. Challen W. Waychoff, this city. 
On the third day the bluebird left the martin 
house to the martins and built and reared two 
broods in the nest-box intended for them, and 
although only 50 feet from the martins never 
again molested them. 


Marshall, Mich. 


Please send me 30 more bluebird 
nest-boxes and ten for chickadees. My 
bluebird boxes, bought of you, are well oc- 
cupied, and as the first broods are out, I 
notice many more old birds, apparently 
from other localities, looking for quarters 
and I want to accommodate them.

FEEDING THE BIRDS IN WINTER 


Birds do not have the 
instinct which many ani- 
mals possess of storing 
food in excess of their im- 
mediate needs for use in 
winter, hence are forced to 
make daily quests; neither 
do they sleep the time 
away as do many animals. 


If you feed the Wrens, 
Chickadees, Nuthatches, 
Tit-mice, Cardinals, Song 
Sparrows and all other 
small resident birds, dur- 
ing the winter months, 
they will make your premises their haunts during the summer sea- 
son, repaying you for your kindness to them by devouring multi- 
tudes of insect pests which come to destroy your garden, flowers, 
fruits and trees. 


The following pages show types of feeding devices which have 
been used with great success. The most serious objection we have 
found with al! open feeders is the ease with which the English Spar- 
rows enter for robbery. 


A sample of the many odd and interesting peculiarities discover- 
able in studying bird life is the fact that Sparrows seem to think the 
Jacobs Food Shelter a trap and shrewdly keep away from it. Its 
construction, method of erection and food supply have been worked 
out to get this result. On the other hand dozens of such birds .as 
Chickadee, Wren, Tufted-tit, Cardinal, Hairy Woodpecker, Nuthatch, 
Downy Woodpecker, Song Sparrows, etc., come daily to feed from it. 


Aside from practical and humane reasons for feeding desirable 
birds in wintcr we know of no “indoor sport” more interesting than 
watching from one’s window the birds that come to enjoy the hos- 
pitality of a food shelter erected for them. Particularly where there 
are children in a family, a shelter set up near the house for them to 
keep supplied with food, is the means of a great deal of pleasure.
